                         REMEMBERING JOHN GLENN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, we were saddened yesterday to learn 
of the passing of one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, 
John Glenn. He described his childhood as being like something out of a 
Norman Rockwell painting, but as we all know, his life was anything but 
ordinary. This smalltown boy from New Concord, OH, came a long way and 
lived a full life, one that touched many and will not soon be 
forgotten.
  Elaine and I send our condolences to his wife Annie and the rest of 
the Glenn family.
